With Apollo shutting down officially I’d like to post something to the pop communities of Reddit. I don’t want to come off as spammy - but more of a “Hey, we have an alternative over here and you are welcome to join.”

Most popheads/swifities so far have replied with “Why, it doesn’t change how I use it” and I’m trying to figure out some ways to make the Reddit change hit home a bit for them specifically.

Anyone want to give some examples of what I should say/post? I’ll link the post I have in the sidebar to help those who may want to join, and I’m expanding the server a bit today just to hopefully handle an influx.

In addition, any other subreddits I’d need to post to?

Edit: Posts are live -

Waiting on Moderator approval on the TaylorSwift one. Anywhere else?

Edit: Moderators removed the PopHeads post saying it was off topic

Thanks - @scrubbles

    I’ve tried to post in every Music community I’ve found that we’re here, I think most of them know about us, while also trying not to be spammy. I know I’ve posted to music at both lemmy.ml and beehaw.org, there’s a couple communities on the sidebar that I chatted with the mods directly on and I think we have a symbolic “my link is on yours if yours is on mine to help spread the word”.

    I think awareness that we exist is the biggest thing, not “beating you over your head” that we’re here but for new users especially, they discover !music it’d be nice for them to see we’re here too. I’m hoping that the admins see my request for /c/TaylorSwift over on lemmy and I’ll direct more people here after that
